All Reviews for 浮潛（シュノーケリング）

This time, my girlfriend and I participated in SUP and snorkeling at the Blue Cave! Since it was our first challenge with SUP, we thought it might be difficult, but thanks to our instructor, Miyuki, who provided thorough guidance, we had a great time experiencing SUP! The snorkeling was also very enjoyable as they explained about the fish and other things along the way! Overall, it was wonderful that the instructor adjusted the activities to match the participants' pace and created a fun atmosphere for everyone! Above all, I thought the service of taking photos during the activities and providing the data later was fantastic! If I have the chance again, I would definitely love to participate!

今回は、彼女と2人でSUPと青の洞窟シュノーケリングに参加させて頂きました！
2人ともSUPに関しては、初の挑戦ということもあり、難しそうな印象がありましたが、インストラクターさん(Miyukiさん)がしっかりとレクチャーをして頂けたお陰で楽しくSUP体験が出来ました！
シュノーケリングについても、魚など説明を交えながら進めてくださりとても楽しかったです！
全体を通して、インストラクターが参加者のペースに合わせてアクティビティを進めてくださるだけでなく、楽しく参加が出来るような雰囲気作りもいて頂きとても良かったです！なによりもアクティビティ中に写真を撮ってデータとして後で頂けるサービスも凄い良かったと思います！！
また機会があれば是非参加させて頂きますね！！

The tour was changed from the planned Kabira Bay to a river surrounded by mangroves due to the weather conditions on the day, but it was a very fulfilling experience that allowed us to feel more connected to nature. I appreciate the flexibility in adapting to the situation.

Thanks to the thorough pre-lecture on paddling techniques, I didn't feel too confused, but I struggled with my balance and ended up capsizing a few times. If I have the opportunity again, I would like to try it again.

It was a bit chilly, but we were able to use warm showers afterward, so there were no issues at all.

当日の気象状況から予定の川平湾からマングローブに囲まれた川へ変更してのツアーでしたが自然をより感じられ大変充実した内容でした。こうした臨機応変な対応も評価できます。
パドルさばきについては丁寧な事前レクチャーのおかげでさほど戸惑いはありませんでしたが、重心の取り方がうまく行かず何度か水没してしまいました。今度もし機会があれば 再チャレンジしてみたいと思います。
やや肌寒い日でしたが終了後温水シャワーを使用でき全く問題ありません。

This was my first trip to Ishigaki Island, and I was really looking forward to it. Before the trip, the weather forecast predicted clouds and rain, but on the day itself, we were blessed with clear skies, as if the sun was greeting us. I thought it must have been due to my good behavior.

Now, regarding the morning SUP experience, it was wonderful to paddle and stand on the board with both feet, feeling the wind of Ishigaki Island all around me. When I got the hang of it, I tried standing on one foot, but I didn’t succeed and ended up falling into the sea, which became a memorable experience for me.

In the afternoon, the sun became stronger, and I almost wondered if it was really January, as the intense sunlight was piercing. During the snorkeling experience, the sunny weather allowed me to swim comfortably, and I was very satisfied! My companion mentioned they weren’t a strong swimmer, but with the support of a float, they were able to participate safely, making it an activity that anyone can enjoy.

Thank you very much!

今回が初めての石垣島旅行で楽しみにしていました。
旅行に行く前は天気予報が曇や雨の予報でしたが、いざ、当日になると、太陽がこちらに向かって挨拶してるかのような快晴に恵まれ日頃の行いが良かったのかと思いました。
さて、午前中のSUP体験ですが漕いで両足でボートの上に立つ事で石垣島の風を全体で受ける事でき、非常に気持ちの良いものでした。途中慣れきたころに片足立ちに挑戦するも、上手くいかず転覆して石垣の海に放り出されたのは個人的な良い思い出になりました。笑
午後になると日差しも強くなって行き、本当に1月かと思うぐらい強い日差しが突き刺さる中、シュノーケル体験でしたが太陽が出てる分気持ち良く泳ぐ事が出来て大満足でした！今回、同伴者が泳ぎが苦手との事でしたが浮き輪と一緒にサポートしてくださったので初めての方でも安心して参加できるアクティビティですね。
どうもありがとうございました。

After the New Year, I went to warm Ishigaki!

After touring the island, I decided to book some sports activities! At first, I was worried that the sea might still be cold, but I was recommended to try stand-up paddleboarding in the mangroves, and it was safe and easy even for beginners! Our guide, Mako-chan, taught us carefully, and the waves were stable, so I didn’t have to worry about falling into the water at all!

Then, in the afternoon, we headed out for snorkeling. The moment I got into the water, I thought, "Oh, it's cold!" but I quickly immersed myself in the beautiful underwater world, and it was so much fun!

When I got out of the water, it was a bit chilly, but the car's heating was working great, and it felt nice!

Finally, there was a shower available to warm up my body, which was the best!

I definitely want to go back once the warm season arrives!

年明け暖かい石垣に！

島観光を回してから、スポーツを予約してみました！最初は海がまだ寒いかなと心配してたが、マングローブのsupをおすすめしていただいて、初心者でも、安心に漕げました！ガイドのまこちゃん丁寧に教えていただき、波も安定で、全然水に落ちる心配がなかったのです！

それから！午後からシュノーケルに向かって、水に入った瞬間、あ、寒ーと思ってたけど、すぐ綺麗な海下の世界に冒頭し、楽しかったです！

水から出てきて、一瞬寒かったけど、車の暖房をガンガン効いて、気持ちよかった！

最後、シャワーも付いて、体を温めて、最高でした！

暖かい季節になってから、ぜひまた行きたいです！

The snorkeling had high visibility, allowing us to see plenty of coral and fish, and the SUP was taught with great care, making it a very satisfying tour! Even in winter, the water temperature was warm, and wearing a wetsuit kept us comfortable; the kids enjoyed it as well. The staff were very friendly and kind to the children. Since it was windy, it would have been nice to have a windbreaker over our swimsuits during the SUP. I would love to participate again!

シュノーケリングは透明度が高く珊瑚や魚を沢山見ることができ、SUPも丁寧に教えてくださり大満足のツアーでした！冬でも水温は高く、ウェットスーツを着れば寒くなく、子供も楽しんでいました。スタッフの方もとてもフレンドリーで子供にも優しいです。風が強かったので、SUPの時は水着の上にウィンドブレーカーがあると良かったです。また参加したいです！

We participated in our first Okinawa activity as a couple. We signed up for this highly-rated tour. The day before, I received a call from Pipi confirming the meeting place and time, checking our shoe sizes and heights, and going over some important notes and the schedule. In the morning, we were advised to wear swimsuits, and since we would break for lunch, we needed to bring lunch money. The plan included snorkeling at the Blue Cave in the morning and kayaking at Kabira Bay in the afternoon. Since it was winter, we wore wetsuits for snorkeling. Although we got quite wet, a layer of warm water formed between our skin and the suit, allowing us to swim without shivering. The path to the beach was a wild, tropical route that offered a bit of adventure. The snorkeling was fantastic, and the cave itself was truly beautiful. The way the light came in and the view of the sea gave it a secret base feel.

After the activity, we took off our wetsuits and were able to rinse our hands and feet with warm water that was provided. We were transported almost in our swimsuits to the city center, but the heating was on, so we weren't cold. Before the afternoon meeting, we returned to our hotel, took a shower, and had a meal at a deli recommended by our guide.

In the afternoon, we were taken to the farthest point of Kabira Bay for our canoe experience. Since the canoe can get wet, it's good to wear swimsuits or rash guards. After receiving a briefing, even beginners could easily paddle and turn. The people on the SUP course were also enjoying themselves while standing and paddling, and we felt a sense of satisfaction from paddling quite a distance. We were able to experience the beautiful Kabira Bay, where the color changes with the depth, and we even saw a bit of sunshine. The guide was very friendly both in the morning and afternoon, introducing us to recommended shops and engaging with the children. I hope to request this experience again when I can visit Ishigaki Island under a blue sky!

初めての沖縄アクティビティ夫婦で参加です。口コミ評価が高いこのツアーを申し込みました。前日にpipiさんから電話があり集合場所と時刻、足と身長の確認、諸注意とスケジュールの確認があります。朝の時点でインナーは水着、昼食時は一旦解散するので昼食代が必要。また、午前に青の洞窟シュノーケリング、午後に川平湾カヌーと予定が入れ替わるという内容でした。シュノーケリングは冬場なのでウエットスーツを着用。中までしっかり濡れますが､ 肌とスーツの間に温かい水の層ができ、震えることなく泳ぐことが出来ました。浜まで南国感いっぱいなワイルドな道がありちょっとした冒険が楽しめます。 シュノーケル中はもちろん、洞窟が本当に素敵でした。 光の入り方や海の見え方が秘密基地感たっぷりです。

アクティビティ後はウエットスーツを脱ぎ、用意してくだ さったお湯で軽く手足を流せます。そのままほぼ水着で 市街地まで送迎ですが、 暖房も入れて頂き寒くはありま せんでした。午後の集合まで私達は一旦ホテルに戻り、 シャワーを浴びてガイドさんおすすめのデリで食事をし ました。

午後は川平湾の一番奥まったところまで送迎していただ き､カヌー体験です。カヌーも濡れるので、水着やラッシ ュガードを着ると良いです。レクチャーを受け初心者でも 簡単に漕いで曲がることが出来ます。SUPコースの方たち も皆立ち漕ぎで楽しんでいましたかなりの距離を漕げ るので満足感があります。少し晴れ間も見え、深さで色が変わる綺麗な川平湾を体感できました。ガイドの方は午前午後とも､とても気さくでおすすめのお店を紹介していただいたり、子どもたちと盛り上がったりとフレンドリーです。今度、青空の石垣島に来ることができた際はお願いしたいです!

In the morning, I went snorkeling at the Blue Cave, and in the afternoon, I experienced stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). The weather was cloudy, so it wasn't the best condition, but both activities were incredibly fun! The snorkeling instructor, Nishihara, provided thorough guidance, which made me feel safe during the experience. He taught us a lot about the corals, fish, and nature, so I not only enjoyed snorkeling but also learned about the natural environment of Ishigaki Island. After coming out of the water, it was a bit cold in December, so I think it would be good to have warm clothing that can be worn over a swimsuit. For SUP, the instructor also taught us how to paddle carefully and took many photos, so even though it was my first time, I was able to enjoy it! I didn't fall into the river, and while I didn't get completely soaked, my bottom did get wet, so I think it's best to wear something that can get wet on the lower half. I would definitely like to participate again when I visit Ishigaki Island! Thank you!

午前中は青の洞窟のシュノーケリング、午後はSUPを体験しました。天気は曇りで最高のコンディションとはいきませんでしたが、どちらも最高に楽しかったです！シュノーケリングはインストラクターのニシハラさんが丁寧にレクチャーしてくれるので安心して体験することができました。珊瑚や魚、自然のことについても色々と教えてくださったのでシュノーケリングだけではなく、石垣島の自然についても知ることができ楽しかったです。海から上がった後は12月で少し寒かったので、水着の上から着られる防寒着があると良いと思いました。SUPも漕ぎ方について丁寧に教えてくださり、写真もたくさん撮ってくださったので初めてでしたが、楽しんで参加することができました！川に落ちることはなく、全身が濡れてしまうことはないのですが、お尻は濡れてしまうので、下半身は濡れても大丈夫な格好で行くと良いと思いました。石垣島にまた訪れたときにはぜひまた参加したいです！ありがとうございました！

Thank you for your support this year as well.
I've been relying on you since last year, and it’s becoming an annual tradition.
I started snorkeling to help my child, who is afraid of water and can't put their face in it, get used to the water.
Last year was a great success; we saw many fish and had a lot of fun, so I asked this shop for snorkeling again this year.
Continuing from last year, we saw many fish, and fortunately, we even spotted a turtle in the distance!
My child is still scared of the deeper areas and can't let go of my hand, but thanks to this, they can put their face in the water. While they wouldn't do it without snorkeling, they have started to enter the water on their own and play up to their neck!
This shop offers private, exclusive experiences! Unlike others, you can enjoy it privately, so I can trust them with my child and have fun myself!
They also take a lot of photos!
On the way back, we were recommended a delicious taco rice place, making for a tasty and enjoyable Christmas Eve.
I hope to ask for your help again next year!

今年もお世話になりました。
昨年からお世話になり毎年のになりつつあります。
水が怖くて顔をつけることのできない子供をなんとか水慣れさせたく始めましたシュノーケリング。
昨年大成功で沢山魚も観れ楽しめたので、今年も同じくこのお店にお願いしてシュノーケリングをしました。
昨年に引き続き沢山の魚を見れて、幸運な事に遠くに亀も観れました！
子供はまだまだ深いところは怖くて手を離すことはできないですけどお陰で顔をつけられますし、シュノーケリングがないと顔はつけませんが自ら海の中に入り首まで浸かり遊ぶ様にはなりました！
このお店は単独、独占、貸切！他とは違い貸切で楽しめるから子供も安心して任せて自分も楽しめます！
写真も沢山撮ってくれます！
帰りのランチでタコライス美味しいお店教えてもらい美味しく楽しくクリスマスイヴでした。
また来年もお願いしたいなと思います！

I couldn't go to the Blue Cave, but they suggested an alternative tour to Balas Island and snorkeling. The conditions seemed good, and it was very beautiful.

The afternoon stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and canoeing at Kabira Bay had strong winds, and it rained a bit along the way, but it was fun. My 7-year-old wanted to try SUP, and with the help of the guide, they were able to experience it.

During the transfers, they also introduced us to recommended shops and sightseeing spots.

While the guiding was great, I was surprised when we had a break between the morning and afternoon sessions, where we just took off our wetsuits and were told to have lunch on our own before regrouping. I was informed that it was okay to enter shops in swimwear, but having gone to Iriomote the day before and seeing a notice that said, "Please do not walk in swimwear or dirty clothes, as this is a residential area," I felt quite resistant to that. Is this the norm in Ishigaki Island?

Lastly, the shower room we used at the end was helpful as it had a hairdryer.

青の洞窟は行けませんでしたが、バラス島とシュノーケリングの代替ツアーを提案していただきました。
条件が良かったようでとても綺麗でした。
午後の川平湾SUPとカヌーは風が強く、途中雨も降りましたが、楽しかったです。
7歳の子がSUPをやりたいと言い、ガイドさんに引っ張ってもらいながら体験できました。
移動中などもおすすめのお店や観光スポットを紹介していただきました。

ガイド中はよかったのですが、午前と午後の間に一度解散があり、ウェットスーツを脱いだだけで解散、各自昼食を取ってまた集合と言われてびっくりしました。
水着でもお店は入れるとのことでしたが、前日に西表に行き、「水着や汚れた格好で歩かないように、生活圏です」との注意書きを見て、その通りだと思っていたので抵抗感が強かったです。
石垣島はそういうものなのでしょうか？
最後に使ったシャワールームはドライヤーもあって助かりました。

Instead of the Blue Cave, we went to Balas Island for snorkeling, and the water clarity was incredible. The water was cold, but when the sun was out, it felt quite warm, making it enjoyable even in December. They took many photos and sent them to us via LINE on the same day. For lunch, I had a recommended hamburger, which was delicious. There was a change in the tour details the day before, and I was a bit confused about the situation regarding changing clothes and belongings, so I think I should have asked for more details over the phone.

青の洞窟ではなくバラス島とシュノーケリングになりましたが、透明度が半端なかったです。
水は冷たいですが日が差せば暑いくらいで、12月でも満喫できました。
写真もたくさん撮ってくださり、当日にLINEで送っていただきました。
お昼はおすすめのハンバーガーを食べましたが、美味しかったです。
前日にツアー内容の変更があり、途中の着替えや持ち物などの状況がちゃんとわかっていなくて戸惑ったので、電話でもう少し段取りを聞いておくべきだったと思います。

It was my first time stand-up paddleboarding, and I found it very easy to understand because the instructor taught me carefully. The conversations with the guide were also very enjoyable, and the ride in the car became a nice memory. I was able to see a different view compared to what I usually see in the city, and I felt healed as I forgot about the daily hustle and bustle. I would like to request this again when I come back to Ishigaki Island!

人生初のsupでしたが、丁寧に教えていただけたのでとてもわかり易かったです。ガイドさんの会話もとても楽しく送迎の車の中もいい思い出になりました。街中で見る景色とはまた違ったものが見れて日常の喧騒を忘れて癒されました気がします。また石垣島に来た時はお願いしたいと思います！

We gathered at a nearby parking lot with our rental car and met up with the tour guide to start the tour. The Stand-Up Paddleboarding at Kabira Bay took place a bit away from the glass-bottom boat boarding area. I was relieved that it wasn't right next to the glass-bottom boat. It felt like a hidden beach, and it was almost like we had it to ourselves, which was great.
The Blue Cave was located beyond an off-road path that you definitely couldn't reach with a personal rental car, and it was further along a beach after passing through the jungle. It had a sense of adventure and was quite nice. The sea was clear and beautiful, with lots of fish. I had a lot of fun even as a solo participant. I'm also grateful for all the photos I received.

現地の近くの駐車場にレンタカーで集合して、ツアーガイドの方と合流してツアーが始まります。川平湾SUPはグラスボート乗り場から少し離れた場所で行いました。グラスボートのすぐ近くでやるのかと思ったりしていたので安心しました。隠れ家ビーチっぽくて、ほとんど貸切みたいな状態だったので良かったです。
青の洞窟も個人のレンタカーでは絶対にいけないようなオフロードを車で越えて、その先のジャングルを抜けたビーチのさらに先にありました。冒険感があり、なかなか良かったです。海も透明できれいで、たくさんの魚がいました。一人参加でも沢山楽しめました。写真もたくさんもらえてありがたいです。

This was undoubtedly the most enjoyable tour among the kayaking and snorkeling tours I've participated in across various locations, even though both of us are experienced! The guides were incredibly personable and didn't give off a sense of it being just a job. In previous tours in other regions, the guides sometimes had a vibe of "this is just work," but the guides in Phi Phi had none of that! They seemed to be having the most fun themselves. Of course, I understand that they are working, but their professionalism in not showing that was truly impressive.

どちらも経験者ですが、今まで各地で参加してきたカヤックやシュノーケルツアーの中で一番楽しかったといっても過言ではないツアーでした！何といってもガイドさんが人間味があるというか、作業感がない。これまで別の地域などで参加したツアーのガイドさんははどこか「やっぱり仕事なんだな」という感じが見え隠れしていたのですが、ピピのツアーガイドさんたちはそういった感じが全くない！本人たちが一番楽しそうにしています。もちろん彼らも仕事でやっているのは理解しているのですが、あくまでそれを出さないプロ意識が素晴らしいと思いました。

Both Kabira Bay and the Blue Cave are breathtaking spots that are usually not seen, and I was continuously moved by their beauty. Standing on a SUP and paddling around Kabira Bay is a once-in-a-lifetime memory for me. I thought it was impossible for me, but thanks to the precise advice and encouragement from our guide, Kei, I was able to master it in just under two hours! The excitement I felt when I stood on the board still lingers. I believe I was able to take this leap because I felt reassured with a professional like Kei nearby. I truly want to express my gratitude. The next day, I experienced a wonderfully pleasant muscle soreness, realizing how hard I had pushed myself, which made me smile. Of course, snorkeling was also a lot of fun, making it a fulfilling day. I would give a perfect score to both the tour content and the quality of the guide.

川平湾も青の洞窟も普段目にかかれない絶景スポットで、感動の連続でした。特に川平湾でSUPの上に立って川平湾を漕いで回れたのは一生モノの思い出です。自分には無理、と思い込んでいましたが、ガイドのケイさんの的確なアドバイスと励ましのおかげで、2時間弱の中で無事会得しました！ボードの上に立った時の感動は今でもなお残っています。こうして思い切ることができたのも、近くにプロのケイさんがいて安心させてくれたからだと思います。本当に感謝したいです。翌日、なんとも言えない気持ちの良い筋肉痛が来て、頑張って踏ん張っていたんだなぁと実感しました笑。もちろんシュノーケリングもとても楽しく、充実した一日でした。ツアー内容もガイドさんの質も100点をあげたいです。

A refreshing and handsome guide showed us around. In December, the water in Ishigaki Island was warm enough to swim in and it wasn't cold. A wetsuit is necessary, but they offer free rentals. You can use all the necessary equipment provided. The service of taking lots of photos and giving them as a gift was great.

さわやかイケメンガイドさんが案内してくれました。石垣島の12月は海にも入れて寒く無かったです。ウェットスーツは必要ですが。無料で貸し出しがあります。必要な道具も全部貸し出しのものを使えます。沢山写真を撮ってプレゼントしてくださるサービスが良かったです。

I signed up for a tour that allows you to visit both Kabira Bay and the Blue Cave, which I had my eye on during the travel planning stage. Both spots are surrounded by nature and have a strong "secret place" vibe, filled with elements that ignite a sense of adventure. I was worried it might be quite cool in December, but the weather on the day was nice, and it was surprisingly warm. I didn't need to dress heavily at all; it really felt like Ishigaki Island (though if you're sensitive to the cold, having a light jacket might be a good idea). By the way, they provided a special suit for snorkeling, so once I got used to it, I was comfortable in the water. The guide was a young, energetic, and polite man who was healthily tanned. He greeted us with a smile from start to finish and sincerely answered my silly questions, which really impressed me. It felt like time flew by, even though it was a long experience. Thank you very much!

旅行計画の段階で目をつけていた川平湾と青の洞窟に両方いけるとのことで申し込みました。どちらのスポットも大自然の中にあり「秘密の場所」感がすごく、少年心をくすぐられるような要素が満点でした。１２月なのでかなり涼しいのではないかと心配していましたが、当日の天気が良かったこともあり、かなり暖かかったのが印象的でした。厚着しなくても全然平気で、さすが石垣島、といった感じでした（寒がりの方は薄く羽織るものがあればよいかもしれません）。ちなみにシュノーケリングで海に入る時も専用のスーツを提供してくれたので、慣れれば海の中も平気でした。担当のガイドは若くて元気で礼儀正しく、健康的に日焼けされた男性の方でした。最初から最後まで笑顔で接してくださり、私のくだらない質問にも真摯に答えてくださり感激しました。長いようでいてあっという間の時間でした。どうもありがとうございました。

You can rent everything you need for both snorkeling and SUP for free, so it was very easy to participate with just your body! I was able to fully enjoy and feel the great outdoors with both snorkeling and SUP!

The guide who took care of us for the day was also amazing! They were kind, fun, and taught us with great care, plus they took a lot of photos for us!

Overall, it was incredibly fun with no complaints!

シュノーケルもSUPもどちらも必要なものは全て無料でレンタルできるため、体ひとつで参加でき、とてもお手軽に楽しめました！
シュノーケルもSUPも体全体を使って大自然を感じ、楽しむことができました！

また1日担当してくださったガイドさんも最高でした！
優しく楽しく丁寧に教えていただけますし、写真もたくさん撮ってくださります！

とにかく文句なしで楽しかったです！

The content was compact and well-organized, and the staff were very polite, allowing us to have a wonderful time. They were very kind to the children, and my son has expressed a desire to go again. We were able to take lovely photos on the phantom island, but unfortunately, there was no underwater camera service during snorkeling, so we couldn't capture any memorable photos. It was great that the staff remembered our conversations on the boat and helped us look for the clownfish we wanted to see, as well as explained the corals and fish in a clear and gentle manner.

内容はコンパクトによくまとまっていて、スタッフの方も大変丁寧で楽しい時間を過ごせました。子供に大変優しく息子もまた行きたいと申しております。ただ幻の島では素敵なお写真を撮っていただけたのですが、シュノーケリング中は水中カメラサービスがなかったので、思い出の写真が残らず残念でした。スタッフの方が船内での会話を覚えてくださり、見たかったカクレクマノミを探してくださったり、珊瑚や魚の説明を分かりやすく優しく教えてくださったのはとても良かったです。

This was my second trip to Ishigaki Island in five years. This time, I participated in a snorkeling tour with RISE. I have joined snorkeling tours at other tourist spots, but I felt that the explanations for snorkeling were very thorough. Additionally, the young new staff member from Hokkaido was very friendly and made the experience enjoyable. Since I couldn't travel abroad during the COVID-19 pandemic, it had been a while since I visited Ishigaki Island, but I was very satisfied to see the corals glowing in shades of blue and red, along with the colorful tropical fish. I would like to repeat this experience the next time I visit Ishigaki Island. Thank you very much.

今回は5年ぶり2回目の石垣島旅行。今回のシュノーケルは、RISEさんのツアーに参加しました。他観光地でシュノーケリングツアー参加してきましたが、シュノーケリングの説明はとても丁寧だと感じました。また、北海道出身の若い新人スタッフさんの対応がとても良く楽しかったです。コロナ禍で海外に行けないので久しぶりの石垣島でしたが、青や赤の光を放っているかのような珊瑚に色とりどりの熱帯魚を鑑賞し、とても満足です。また、石垣島へ行く際はリピートさせて頂きたいと思いました。ありがとうございました。

I received a call the day before the event, and due to strong winds, the SUP at Kawahira Bay was changed to the river, and we couldn't go to the Blue Cave for snorkeling. I was really looking forward to the Blue Cave, so it was disappointing, but since it was due to the weather, I decided to participate.

In the morning, we did SUP on the river. All the other participants were in canoes. Since it was my first time doing SUP, I was worried about capsizing, but thanks to the very thorough instructions, I was able to finish without falling into the river. Along the way, they also explained about the mangroves, allowing us to enjoy nature.

I brought my phone in a waterproof case just in case, but the staff took plenty of photos, so it wasn't necessary. (I even received the data at the end.)

In the afternoon, we went snorkeling a short drive from the island terminal. At the end of October, it was a bit chilly to go into the sea, but they lent us wetsuits, which was reassuring. We were able to see a lot of fish and thoroughly enjoy the ocean.

Overall, the staff's service was outstanding. They also recommended restaurants in Ishigaki Island, and everyone was very friendly and wonderful. Thank you very much.

参加前日に電話があり、強風のため波が荒いとのことで川平湾でのSUPは川に変更に、シュノーケリングは青の洞窟には行けないとのことでした。
青の洞窟は楽しみにしていたので残念でしたが、天候のことなので仕方ないねと参加を決めました。

午前中は川でSUPをしました。私たち以外の参加者はみんなカヌーでの参加でした。SUPは初めてだったので転覆したりしないか不安でしたが、とても丁寧に教えてくださったおかげで無事に川に落ちることなく終えることができました。途中でマングローブの説明などもしてくださり、自然を感じながら楽しむことができました。
一応防水ケースに入れて携帯を持っていきましたが、スタッフの方々がたくさん写真も撮ってくださったので必要ありませんでした。(最後にデータも貰えました)

午後は離島ターミナルから少し車で行ったところでシュノーケリングでした。10月の終わりで海に入るには肌寒かったのですが、ウェットスーツを貸してくださったので安心でした。魚もたくさん見ることができ、海を満喫することができました。

全体を通して、スタッフの方々の対応が素晴らしかったです。
石垣島のおすすめのレストランなども教えてくださり、親しみやすくみなさんとても素敵な方々でした。
ありがとうございました。

We came to Ishigaki Island for our honeymoon. Both my husband and I were really looking forward to our first stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) experience! The weather was cloudy, but it cleared up while we were paddling, and we were amazed by the beautiful Kabira Bay.

The guide who assisted us was very kind, funny, and absolutely the best! He taught us how to paddleboard in a very thorough manner, and our first SUP experience was incredibly fun and refreshing. We were also very grateful for all the photos he took for us.

After SUP, we had a snorkeling experience. We were supposed to go to the Blue Cave, but due to rough seas, we went to a different location, which was also very beautiful!

Even when I suddenly got scared during the experience, he kindly supported me, explained various things about the underwater world, and took many photos underwater. We snorkeled in quite deep waters and were thrilled to see sea turtles swimming and the stunning underwater scenery that we usually can't see!

Both the SUP and snorkeling, as well as the guide, were absolutely amazing!!! I want to do SUP and snorkeling again when we travel to Ishigaki Island next time!

The photos you sent us were so wonderful that my husband and I were deeply moved. Thank you so much. We created the best memories!

今回新婚旅行で石垣島に来ました。
私も主人も初めてのsupで凄くたのしみにしてました！
天気は曇だったんですが、supしてる時は晴れてくれてとても綺麗な川平湾に感動しました✩.*˚

ガイドして下さったお兄さんはとても優しくて面白くて最高でした！
supの仕方も丁寧に教えて頂き、初めてのsupは
すっごくすっごく楽しくて、気持ちよかったです(^^)
写真も沢山撮ってくれて、とても有難かったです(^^)

supの次はシュノーケル体験でした。
青の洞窟予定でしたが、海が荒れててできないということで、違う場所でのシュノーケルでしたが、その場所もとても綺麗でした！

体験する時になって急に怖くなった私にも優しく対応してくれて、海の中の事も色々説明してくれたり、水中の中でも沢山写真を撮っていただきました。
結構深い場所までシュノーケルに行き、ウミガメが泳いでる姿を見れたり、普段見ることのできない海の中の景色に感動しました！！

supもシュノーケルもお兄さんも、全てにおいて最高でした！！！！！
又、石垣島に旅行に行った時はsupとシュノーケルをしたいです！！

送って下さった写真も素敵すぎて、主人と感動しておりました。
本当にありがとうございました。
最高の思い出ができました(^^)

I participated in a SUP and snorkeling tour at Kabira Bay! It was my first experience with SUP, but the guide's instructions were clear, and I was able to ride easily. During snorkeling, I was able to see sea turtles and beautiful fish! Additionally, while we were moving, the guide shared recommendations for spots on Ishigaki Island and taught us about its history, which added to the enjoyment of my trip. I had a fantastic time on this tour, and it became a wonderful memory! When I come back to Ishigaki Island next time, I would love to join this tour again!

川平湾SUPとシュノーケリングのツアーに参加しました！SUPは初めての体験でしたが、ガイドの方の指導が分かりやすく簡単に乗ることが出来ました。シュノーケリングではウミガメや綺麗な魚を見ることが出来ました！また、移動中にもガイドの方から石垣島のおすすめスポットや石垣島の歴史等を教えていただき、その後の旅の楽しみも増えました。凄く良いツアーに参加させていただき、良い思い出になりました！次に石垣島に来る時は、またこのツアーに参加したいと思います！

I received notice the day before that the snorkeling location would be changed due to the typhoon, so this time it was switched to just SUP.

It was my first experience with SUP. On the day, there was a bit of a strong headwind coming from the sea, and since it was my first time, I was worried about whether I could paddle. However, after receiving a thorough lecture and practicing while sitting, I was able to stand up and paddle more easily than I expected. The weather was clear, and the surrounding greenery looked vibrant, plus I could see fish, making the scenery very beautiful. On the way back, I had a tailwind, so it was easy to move without paddling.

Lying on the SUP and listening to the sound of the waves while looking up at the blue sky was incredibly beautiful! Since I couldn't do many activities due to the typhoon, I was able to take a lot of photos and create wonderful memories! Even as a beginner, I enjoyed it without falling even once, so I recommend this tour to anyone who hasn't tried it before.

前日に台風の影響でシュノーケリングの場所が変更になると連絡をいただき、今回はSUPのみに変更していただきました。

初めてのSUP体験でした。
当日は海からやや強めの向かい風が吹いていて、初めてということもあり漕げるか不安でした。
最初に丁寧にレクチャーしてもらったり、座って練習したりして思ったよりすんなり立って漕ぐことができました。快晴ということもあり周りの緑も映えて、魚も見えたりと景色もとても良かったです。帰りは追い風で漕がなくても進むので楽ちんでした。
SUPに寝転んで波の音を聴きながら見上げた青空がとってもとってもとっても綺麗でした！
台風の影響でなかなかアクティビティが出来なかったので、写真もたくさん撮っていただいて最高の思い出ができました！
初心者でも一度も落ちずに楽しめたので、やったことない人にもおすすめのツアーです。

It was a SUP experience in unstable weather, but our guide made it enjoyable, allowing us to appreciate it as a valuable experience. It was great to see many creatures since it was raining. The mangroves were very mysterious.
It was my first time on a SUP, and I was worried about falling, but it was much more stable than I expected, and I got used to it quickly. The freedom of maneuvering was also high, and it was fun!
Next, I would like to participate in a night tour.

天候が不安定な中でのSUP体験でしたが、ガイドさんが楽しませて下さったのでこれもまた貴重な体験として楽しむことができました。雨が降っていたのでいきものがたくさん見られてよかったです。マングローブはとても神秘的でした。
SUPは初めてで、落ちたりしないか不安でしたが思っていたよりも全然安定していてすぐに慣れました。操縦の自由度も高く、面白かったです！
次は夜のツアーに参加してみたいです。

I was picked up at the island terminal, and during the car ride, the guide shared various information about Ishigaki Island while we traveled for about an hour. We started with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). After a brief lecture on how to ride the SUP, we leisurely moved across the calm sea without any waves, which felt absolutely wonderful.

After that, we drove again and had about an hour of free time for lunch at Kabira Bay. There was plenty of time to ride the glass-bottom boat, but since we had snorkeling planned afterward, my friend and I decided to take out some sata andagi and drinks from a nearby shop and spent some time just gazing at the sea.

After our free time, we drove again to go snorkeling. We walked over some rocky areas, but they provided marine shoes, which was reassuring (they asked for our shoe sizes in advance). After about a 10-minute walk, we reached the snorkeling spot. As we floated in the incredibly clear water, we were able to see many fish and sea turtles! At the end, we were also guided to a cave where we could see stalactites, which left us very satisfied.

I thought there would be a shower available, but after snorkeling, we stopped by a river to rinse off with river water. However, since I would be taking a shower back at the hotel, it wasn't a problem at all. My friend had a bit of trouble with fogging in her goggles during snorkeling, but the staff quickly helped by going to buy some mineral water, which was a great relief. They also took many photos and sent them to us via Line, so we were very satisfied!

It was a tour I would definitely like to join again. Thank you very much!

離島ターミナルまで迎えに来ていただき、車中ではガイドの方から石垣島の色々な情報を教えてもらいながら小一時間移動して、まずはSUPから始めました。
初めにSUPの乗り方について簡単にレクチャーを受けた後、波もなく穏やかな海をのんびり移動、最高に気持ちよかったです。
その後また車で移動、川平湾でいったん昼食を兼ねてフリータイムが１時間程度ありました。
グラスボートに乗る時間も充分にありますが、この後シュノーケリング予定なので私と友人は近くのお店でサーターアンダギーとドリンクをテイクアウトして、ぼーっと海を眺めて過ごしました笑

フリータイム後はまたまた車で移動して、シュノーケリングへ。
結構岩場を歩きますが、マリンシューズを貸してくれるので安心です。（事前に靴のサイズ聞かれました。）
１０分程度歩いてシュノーケリングスポットへ。
驚くほど透明度の高い海をのんびり漂うように移動していると、たくさんの魚やウミガメを見ることができました！
最後、洞窟もちょっと案内してもらえて、鍾乳石も見れたので大満足です。

シャワーはあるのかと思っていましたが、シュノーケリング終わってから途中川に寄って川の水で潮を流しましたがどうせホテル帰ってからシャワーを浴びるのでこれでも問題ないです笑
友人がシュノーケリングの途中から目に曇り止めが入ったようで、目が開けられなくなるトラブルがありましたが、ミネラルウォーターを買いに行ってくれたりと迅速に対応していただき大変助かりました。
写真もたくさん撮ってくれてLineで送ってくれたので大満足です！
また是非参加したいツアーでした。
ありがとうございました。

Due to strong winds, we decided not to go to Kabira Bay as we had wanted, and I received a call the day before asking if I would like to change to a different safe location. I was hesitant about participating, but I ended up changing to a half-day snorkeling course. The sea was beautiful, and I was satisfied to see many corals and fish! A friend who joined me seemed to have hit a rock and ended up with a scrape, so it might be a good idea to wear swimwear like tights when participating. Although it was a sudden course change, I’m glad I participated, and I would consider changing courses again if there are any changes in the future.

強風ということて行きたかった川平湾に行かないことになり、別の安全な場所でのコース変更はどうですかと前日にお電話を頂きました。参加を悩みましたが、半日のシュノーケルのコースに変更していただきました。海もきれいで、サンゴも魚もたくさん見ることができて満足です！一緒に行った友人が岩に当たったようで擦り傷を作ってしまっていたので、参加する際はタイツのような水着での参加がいいかもしれません。急なコース変更でしたが、参加して良かったと思うので、また参加の際変更があってもコース変更で検討したいと思いました。

Due to the typhoon, we couldn't go to the Blue Cave, so we went snorkeling at a different spot, but the sea there was also incredibly beautiful, and we had a great time.
It was my first experience with stand-up paddleboarding, and there were moments when it was a bit physically demanding, but the guide helped us out, which was a relief!
I didn't bring my smartphone, so I was very satisfied that we were able to get beautiful photos taken.
The guide was very kind, and we had a fulfilling day. I would love to do this again if the opportunity arises.

台風の影響で青の洞窟は行けず、別ポイントでのシュノーケリングとなりましたが、そちらもすごく綺麗な海で十分に楽しめました。
SUPは初めての体験で体力的に少ししんどいタイミングもありましたが、ガイドの方が引っ張ってくださり、助かりました！
スマホを持っていかなかったので、綺麗な写真を撮っていただけたのも大満足です。
ガイドの方が大変親切で充実した1日を過ごすことができました。また機会があればお願いしたいです。

I went to Ishigaki with four friends in early September. Speaking of Ishigaki, it's all about Kabira Bay! I wanted to swim in the beautiful sea there, but it turned out swimming was prohibited... So, I searched for places around Kabira Bay where we could enjoy the sea and found this tour.

This tour allows you to fully enjoy the sea in one day, with SUP in the morning and snorkeling in the afternoon! It was my first time trying SUP, but once I got the hang of it, I was able to move forward easily, and it became really fun as I got used to it. During snorkeling, I saw many fish I had never seen before, and the guide took lots of pictures underwater, so even a month later, I can look back at those memories.

For lunch, we were dropped off at Kabira Bay, where we could see the beautiful sea with glass-bottom boats floating on it.

If you come to Ishigaki, make sure to enjoy Kabira with this tour!

9月上旬に友達4人と石垣に行きました。石垣といえば川平湾！そこの綺麗な海で泳ぎたいなと思ったところ、遊泳禁止との事だったので…川平湾周辺で海を楽しめる所がないか探して、このツアーを見つけました。

このツアーでは午前中はSUP、午後はシュノーケリングと、一日で海を満喫できます！SUPは初めてだったのですが、コツを掴めばどんどん進んでいけるので、慣れてくるととても楽しいです。シュノーケリングでは見たこともない魚をたくさん見る事ができ、しかもガイドさんが海の中の写真をたくさん撮ってくれたので、1ヶ月たった今も思い出を見返す事ができてます。

ランチは川平湾で下ろして頂いたので、ガラスボートが浮かぶ綺麗な海を見ることができました。

石垣に来たらこのツアーで川平を楽しんでください！

Due to the impact of the typhoon and the number of participants, there were changes up until the morning of the event, but I'm really glad it was carried out safely. The staff were kind and had a wealth of knowledge about marine life. We were able to see three types of turtles and even a cobia that was stuck to a shell. The staff shared videos they took, which allowed us to see everything more clearly. There was also a service for renting underwater cameras, and the data was easy to download. Since regular cameras and smartphones can't capture the fun memories underwater, this is a high point. Not only did we get to see the rare and highly venomous sea snake, but the staff even dove in and caught it with their bare hands for us to touch. My friend, who was snorkeling for the first time, had no problems and enjoyed it very much. Thank you very much!

台風の影響や参加人数の関係で当日朝まで変更があったりしましたが、無事に決行出来て本当に良かったです。スタッフの皆さん親切で海の生き物の知識も豊富です。亀探しも三枚(?)の亀や甲羅に張り付いたコバン鮫まで見れましたし、スタッフの方が撮った動画をシェアしてくれるのでより鮮明に見られます。水中カメラ貸し出しのサービスもあり、データも簡単にダウンロード出来ます、普通のカメラやスマホでは海の中での楽しい思い出を残せないので、ここは高ポイントです　珍しいという猛毒を持つ海蛇も見られただけでなくなんとスタッフが潜って素手で捕まえてきて触らせてくれました　カナヅチのシュノーケル初体験のツレも問題なくとても楽しんでいました。どうも有難うございました。

I wanted to enjoy the beautiful sea on Ishigaki Island for the first time, so I made a reservation. I was staying very close to the meeting point, and they came to pick me up without any unpleasantness. I was happy to find that the guide had once lived in my hometown and was very friendly.

We set off with six people. They provided thorough guidance on safety precautions, which was reassuring. They took many photos and engaged in conversation, and despite the current COVID situation, they welcomed us warmly.

The sea was truly beautiful, and I was glad to see the lovely fish. They also provided information about the nearby islands. Additionally, they informed us about the threats to coral reefs, which made me think about how we can help protect the beautiful sea.

I believe this tour is definitely worth participating in. Thank you!

初めての石垣島で、綺麗な海を堪能したい！
と思い予約しました。
待ち合わせ場所から、すぐのところに宿泊していましたが嫌な顔せず迎えにきてくれました。
たまたま私の地元にかつて住んでいたガイドの方がいて、フレンドリーに接してくれて嬉しかったです。

しっかり注意事項等案内してくれて安心です。
たくさん写真を撮ってくれて、話しかけてくれて
こんなコロナの状況にも関わらず優しく受け入れてくれました。

海は本当に綺麗で、美しい魚が見えてよかったです。
あれは〜島でと付近の案内もしてくれました。
またサンゴの危機も教えてくれました、さらに綺麗な海を守れるようにしていこうと思いました。

参加して絶対損はないツアーだと思います。
ありがとうございました！
